Sunday Morning

Our opening Scripture reading comes from Isaiah 9:6–7, which says, “For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; and the government will rest on His shoulders; and His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.”

We will read Isaiah 11:1–9, which says, “Then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse, and a branch from his roots will bear fruit.”

We will read Matthew 1:18–25, where it says, “Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: when His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit.”

Our Bible study comes from Micah 5:2, which says, “But as for you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, too little to be among the clans of Judah, from you One will go forth for Me to be ruler in Israel. His goings forth are from everlasting, from the ancient days.”

Our congregational songs will include the following:

• I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day (HG #249)
• Exult In the Savior’s Birth (HG #245)
• O Little Town of Bethlehem (HG #242)
• Angels We Have Heard on High (HG #227)
• O Come, O Come, Emmanuel (HG #218)

All ages are welcome to attend and participate. We have an area for parents to work with needy children as well as space for nursing mothers.
